Kiara Advani's clean diet for ‘War 2' revealed: Here's how protein pancakes, grilled chicken and sattu chaas helped her achieve a toned, action-ready look
, who is currently embracing motherhood with the birth of her baby girl, has also been grabbing headlines for her stunning transformation and powerful action scenes in the upcoming film 'War 2'.
While the actor is cherishing the joys of new mum life, glimpses from the trailer of 'War 2' have left fans awestruck, particularly her high-energy sequences and lean, action-ready look.
Not crash dieting, but clean and sustainable eating
In a chat with Pinkvilla, celebrity nutritionist Nicole Linhares Kedia explained, 'Kiara had a fairly clean eating style, she loves ghar ka khana but for this transformation. The biggest change was dialing in her macros, specifically increasing her protein intake while keeping her in a steady caloric deficit.
We had to be extremely precise. Our goal was to tone and build lean muscle while reducing body fat, and that meant every ingredient had to be measured, even down to the oil used in cooking or a few shavings of Parmesan on her Buddha bowl.
It wasn't about removing foods she loved, but optimising what she ate to align with getting her into her best shape.'
Protein pancakes were her morning staple
Despite a packed training schedule and rigorous shoot hours, Kiara maintained her daily rituals especially her breakfast.

Her go-to meal to kickstart the day? Protein pancakes. These pancakes were made using oat flour, walnut flour and protein powder. She would top them with maple syrup or monk fruit sweetener, fresh berries, and a generous dollop of homemade hazelnut butter. The high-protein, fibre-rich breakfast gave her a satisfying and energising start to the day, while still aligning with her fitness goals.
Grilled chicken, curries and veggies for main meals
Kiara's lunch and dinner plates were always full of flavour and nourishment.
Nicole revealed, 'Lunch and dinner often featured grilled chicken, chicken curries, asparagus, baby potatoes, avocado, edamame pesto hummus, vegetable crudites, foods she genuinely enjoys. We kept her meals light but high in protein and tailored them closely to her training and shoot schedule.'
Her desi secret for post-workout recovery
For her post-workout and snack sessions, Kiara returned to a familiar Indian classic, sattu chaas. This refreshing drink is made using roasted Bengal gram flour, jeera (cumin) powder and coriander leaves.
Known for its cooling properties and high protein content, this old-school remedy helped her stay hydrated and refuelled without turning to protein shakes or energy bars. This choice once again reflected Kiara's commitment to incorporating traditional, wholesome Indian foods into her fitness journey.
Kiara's high-octane role in 'War 2'
Kiara Advani isn't just romancing onscreen in 'War 2', she's taking charge, quite literally. The trailer has taken fans by surprise with her full-fledged action avatar. From aiming a gun at

KICL forays into value footwear market with Zodiz and Jeetlo acquisition
Chennai-based Kothari Industrial Corporation (KICL), a part of the D C Kothari group, has acquired Zodiz, Jeetlo, and other associated sub-brands in the footwear field. These brands cater to the price- and quality-conscious mass market, offering products below Rs 1,000 per pair — a segment that accounts for nearly 80 per cent of total Indian footwear consumption, valued at Rs 80,000 crore to Rs 85,000 crore annually. This is KICL's official entry into the branded value footwear and accessories segment, marking a significant milestone in its growth journey in the footwear sector. "We are pleased to confirm the successful acquisition of the Zodiz, Jeetlo, and other associated sub-brands, effective 4 August 2025. This acquisition gives KICL an immediate foothold in one of the fastest-growing and underserved consumer segments," said Jinnah Rafiq Ahmed, Executive Chairman, KICL. This comes at a time when India's footwear industry is witnessing rapid shifts in consumer preferences. Footwear is no longer viewed purely as a utility — it has evolved into a symbol of personal style and self-expression, the company said. "This entry in the value segment is significant, given the fact that Indian footwear consumption is slated to grow and is evolving from a utility to self-expression for young, discerning consumers," said N Mohan, Director of the company. "Key differentiators will be fashion-relevant, comfort-first, and price-accessible products aimed at Tier 2 and Tier 3 consumers, the emerging urban centres," he added. With per capita consumption at 1.9 pairs per annum and expected to double by 2030, the opportunity for value-driven, fashion-apt products is immense in India. The Government of India's continued focus on this sector further reinforces the timing and relevance of entry, a statement said. "Our business strategy will be distribution-led, targeting Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities — India's emerging urban hubs where the appetite for affordable fashion is on the rise," said Ahmed. "We aim to deliver products that are style-relevant, aligned with evolving fashion sensibilities, comfortable, and affordable. Our extensive distribution network will be instrumental in scaling reach and building long-term value across the ecosystem," he added. "With a strong team, deep market understanding, and robust infrastructure, KICL is well-positioned to capture this opportunity. We view this move not just as an acquisition, but as the beginning of a new chapter — one that will unlock value for consumers, partners, and stakeholders alike," Ahmed said. "We are excited to embark on this journey at a time when the Indian footwear market is undergoing a profound transformation. Our goal is to serve the rising aspirations of young Indian consumers while creating lasting stakeholder value," he said.

With anticipation running high for War 2, Hrithik Roshan continues to dominate headlines, but it's not the only project that has fans buzzing. Equally generating excitement is Krrish 4, the long-awaited next chapter in the superhero franchise. This time, though, it's more than just a return to the cape and mask. In a major creative leap, Hrithik will also make his directorial debut, taking the reins from his father, legendary filmmaker Rakesh Roshan. Hrithik Roshan's Krrish films were directed by his dad Rakesh Roshan previously. Hrithik opens up about Krrish 4 As both star and director, Hrithik is set to redefine Krrish's legacy with a fresh vision and a new personal milestone in his cinematic journey. This bold move has sparked immense curiosity among fans and the film industry alike. In a recent interaction reported by Deccan Chronicle, Hrithik opened up about his upcoming directorial debut and the emotions tied to it. 'I hope there's a director in me that I can be proud of as I step into the director's shoes for my next film,' he said. Acknowledging that the journey ahead is new and challenging, Hrithik added, 'I'm going to be that person in the room who knows the least, in so many ways. It's a new journey, and I'm excited that I'm not keeping my life monotonous. I like doing new things. I'm curious, and I'm wondering if there's a director in me, waiting to be discovered.' About Krrish 4 While official details of Krrish 4 remain tightly under wraps, what is known is enough to build anticipation. Buzz is that the film will delve into the theme of time travel — a first for the franchise — opening doors to limitless storytelling possibilities. Currently in pre-production at YRF Studios, the film has a specialised VFX team working on elaborate pre-visualisation sequences. Hrithik is said to be actively involved in every creative step, collaborating closely with writers and producer Aditya Chopra to shape what could be the most ambitious chapter of the Krrish saga yet. Filming is expected to begin in early 2026, and with Hrithik leading both in front of and behind the camera, Krrish 4 is expected to be a landmark moment not just for the franchise but for Hrithik's career.
